May Day Worker Solidarity Rally

Past event
May 1, 2021, 12 to 3 PM

Join a coalition of labor, community, and environmental organizations as we rally on May Day in solidarity with Vermont Workers!

We are standing with farmworkers, essential workers, teachers, state employees, and ALL Vermont workers to protect workers' rights and public pensions, and to call for a jobs guarantee and healthcare for all.

12-1:30pm -- Solidarity Rally at the Montpelier State House 1:30-2pm -- Drive to Hannaford Supermarket (456 S. Barre Rd., Barre, VT) 2pm -- Action to support dairy workers' Milk with Dignity campaign in front of Hannaford

Workers milking cows on Vermont's dairy farms are still fighting for basic labor rights and protections that others take for granted: a minimum wage, one day off per week, basic health and safety protections, and protection against retaliation. You can support Migrant Justice's campaign calling on Hannaford to protect the rights of the workers behind their store-brand milk by joining the Milk with Dignity Program.
